Title: Marshalls for the Mourne Way Marathon 9th June 2012
Post by: admin on April 26, 2012: (http://www.26extreme.com/images/logo.png)

26extreme are looking for volunteers to marshall the Mourne Way Marathon this year (9/June/12).

(http://www.26extreme.com/databaseimages/sdr_3466615.jpg)

People are needed to to fill the following positions:

- Out Walkers (to check route is OK, signage etc)
- Back markers
- Feed station marshals
- Critical junction marshals
- Medical support

I'll amend this post with further information as it becomes available. 26extreme will likely provide some free gear for volunteers.

Reply with thoughts and to add your name to the list.

I'm in. It's close to the departure date for China but I reckon it's managable.

Good man. Apart from more hills it's definitely easier on the legs than the city marathon. Both enjoyable, but in entirely different ways. MikeD did both last year, just took 'er handy like 8)

Post by: clav on May 31, 2012: likewise,just volunteered!!, but would love to do it myself ,maybe next year, oh well,would be a pleasure to provide a few treats at some stage to other ni wild runners, standing about for a few hours is nothin compared to what these guys put themselves through
Title: Re: Marshalls for the Mourne Way Marathon 9th June 2012
Post by: t18con on June 01, 2012: This is what i got from Ian

"Hi there,

We are looking for people to help with a number of different areas from water stations to assistance with registration and finish line logistics. If your available to help we can allocate you to an area that appeals to you. We will be rewarding marshals with some OMM back packs or waist packs as a thank you. We also are looking for people who can drive a van and take responsibility for setting up water stations and running them for the day. We need people from about 8am – 8pm however there is flexibility with this.

We ask that all helpers are self sufficient for the day, but we do look after everyone at the beer tent later with a few on us as well. Our events have a great atmosphere and we guarantee you will have a good time.

If you’re interested in any of the above and we can look at allocating you. Your help would be greatly appreciated!

Look forward to hearing from you,

Ian Cumming

Director"

I'm tempted to go for Leitrim Lodge as I imagine it'll be the first station to be closed after the participants pass through, though I'm hoping to be with some other members.

Title: Re: Marshalls for the Mourne Way Marathon 9th June 2012
Post by: surfnscenic on June 07, 2012: I've been told just to report to Rostrevor Forest for 8am and then be taken out to the station. I'm hoping to go direct to Trassey and am waiting for confirmation if they'll agree to this. It means that I could have my car nearby for any extras I might need during the 12 hour stint.

Title: Re: Marshalls for the Mourne Way Marathon 9th June 2012
Post by: surfnscenic on June 08, 2012: I'm at the Trassey Track station and had permission from Ian to go direct to there. I was thinking that if my car was nearby then I (we?) would have plenty of resources eg extra clothes, flasks, maybe a life raft!

However on reflection I think I'll just report to Rostrevor like everyone else. Don't want to miss something important about what I'm suppose to do.

More importantly it'll mean I might be able to meet some othe NI Wild folks. Just found my NI Wild badge again so I'm seeking a way to display it without fixing it permanently to one garment.

I'll keep watching this post for any other developments.

Post by: rin44 on June 08, 2012: hi lisa, why not just turn up at Kilbroney forest park at 8am, i,m sure they,ll sort you out, and assign you to a feed station. I had comms problems with them too. trying to get my race start instructions.finally got a reply.they,re probably up to their eyes. Go for it :)

Post by: surfnscenic on June 08, 2012: Lisa,

I've sent you a PM.

My understanding is that we will be bused out to the various points possibly similar to what happened last year at the iPlod event.

As said above plenty of warm clothing, wet gear and hot food/flasks.

George

Post by: surfnscenic on June 09, 2012: That's me done and home. This morning I Drove to Kilbroney Forest Park at Rostrevor arriving at 07:40 to be re-directed to Trassey Track. On arrival there at 08:05 Mark my partner was aready there and along with Ian had the gazebo shelter set up. A table arrived soon after. We had water, oranges, fruit cake which everybody loved and cold baby potatoes which apparently the marathon runners like.

The weather was very good bearing in mind the heavy rain during the week and especially on Friday night. The runners did say that conditions on the hill sections were boggy and very slippy. Spoke with ~~Chris~~ Craig Twentyclicks who was doing the ultra-marathon of 52 miles, yes fifty two miles. Well done to you and to all the other ultra-marathon and marathon runners for even considering to do such a challenge.

There were long periods of inactivity then for short periods a deluge of thirsty people looking refreshed and water bottles filled. I choose not to go to the post marathon events at Kilbroney.

All in all it wasn't a bad day and I'm thankful the rain stayed away.

Did anyone else from NI-Wild get out today?
Title: Re: Marshalls for the Mourne Way Marathon 9th June 2012
Post by: twentyclicks on June 09, 2012: Thanks George, my bottle-filler extraordinaire! Great day, but yes, the streams were high and many (the course was altered in Tollymore as I think the stepping stone were submerged), and mud everywhere... I loved it 8)

Great success compared to my effort last year - 10hr 09m by my Garmin. Last 10K was gnarly: my body is falling apart... but pains over-ridden by satisfaction. Will blog it all next some day soon.
Hope the other guys in the various events had fun.
Title: Re: Marshalls for the Mourne Way Marathon 9th June 2012
Post by: surfnscenic on June 09, 2012: It was rewarding that in some way our actions of handing out cups of water and filling water bottles assisted the participants. It seemed to offer some semblance of comfort and encouragement to them.

It's great to hear you have finished safe and well. I hope recovery isn't too painful or drawn out.

It was nice to have met you and look forward to being able to have a longer conversation sometime.

Post by: rin44 on June 10, 2012: Yep, good to meet you Mourneman, last couple of miles really started to hurt, lack of training miles finding me out, brilliant craic though. i wonder how many NI Wild members ran yesterday? maybe an NI Wild team some year?? :)
